Cross-town rivals New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets will square off in one of Sunday's marquee 2021-22 NBA regular-season games at the Barclays Center.
The Knicks had their three-game winning streak snapped by the Memphis Grizzlies in their last match. Julius Randle scored 36 points, while RJ Barrett had 23. New York went into the fourth quarter with a 13-point lead, but they couldn't stop Ja Morant down the stretch and succumbed to their 39th loss of the campaign.
Meanwhile, the Nets are coming off arguably their most impressive performance of the season. They beat the Philadelphia 76ers 129-100, holding former star James Harden to only three of 17 shooting during the contest. It was a brilliant team effort by Brooklyn, led by Kevin Durant's 25-point, 14-rebound night, which was complemented by Seth Curry and Kyrie Irving's 20-point scoring efforts.

New York Knicks vs Brooklyn Nets: Predicted Lineups
New York Knicks
The Knicks will likely deploy the same starting lineup they did in their previous game. Alec Burks and Evan Fournier manned the backcourt in that match, while forwards Julius Randle and RJ Barrett paired up alongside center Mitchell Robinson to complete the lineup.
Immanuel Quickley, Taj Gibson and Miles McBride will likely play the most minutes off the bench.
Brooklyn Nets
The Nets will have to make some changes to their starting five from the last game. Kyrie Irving is ineligible to play because of his vaccination status, so Patty Mills could get the nod to start alongside Seth Curry in the backcourt. Kevin Durant, Bruce Brown Jr. and Andre Drummond are likely to retain their places.
Nicolas Claxton, Goran Dragic and James Johnson will likely play the most minutes coming off the bench.
- The Nets are on a two-game winning streak.
